Our Mission
Relying upon the Holy Spirit in all that we do, we, the Roman Catholic Parish of St. Paul and St. Agnes, invite all in our neighborhood to celebrate our common baptism in Jesus Christ:

as a priestly people – interceding for our loved ones and for our world at Mass.
as a prophetic people – proclaiming the Word of God in a dialogue with our neighbors.
as a royal people – building up the Kingdom of God through our lives of humble service.

Mass: What to Expect

The central Catholic act of worship is attending the Mass, or Divine Liturgy. The Mass is divided into two parts: the Liturgy of the Word, and the Liturgy of the Eucharist.

During the first part, the priest leads us in prayer and songs, praising God, thanking Him, and asking Him for forgiveness. We hear Scripture readings, the priest gives a talk, and then we all pronounce the core principles of our faith.

In the second part, the priest says the blessing, transforming bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. We all say the "Our Father" prayer, and then receive communion. Finally, there is a closing prayer and final blessing.
